Are you sure? It would make more sense to call it pdf-stapler or something similar to specify its utility. After all, this is not going to be used as a library. 

Is this considered to be a python module? I was thinking that it is more like an application, such as batti.

As an author and user of software, I feel that it is useful to have clearly defined names. (Besides, the name "stapler" does not quite do justice to the full capabilities of the software.) Anyway, he said he would if I came up with a good name so I suggested a bunch, but he never responded after that.

Yes, I have talked to both. (Btw, Philip Stark **is** hellerbade.) The forks have now been merged back (but for one issue) according to Fred Wenzel.

I read somewhere that I have to do some GPG signing? This does not appear to be on this webpage above. Also, can the files be submitted to BZ itself or does this have to be loaded somewhere else?
